…until this morning, and I’m so glad I waded into it…finally. Partly in French but mostly in English, and worth every minute.
Oliver covers huge portions of his emotional cinematic waterfront, and it’s glorious…The Witch, Woody Allen‘s Barcelona (“one of my favorites of his”), A Rainy Day in New York (“a classic…captures the spirit of New York so beautifully”), Avatar (“the first was great but the second one got lost”), J’Accuse, Sweet Smell of Success, Mildred Pierce, Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Best Years of Our Lives, the not-all-that successful The Deer Hunter, George Clooney‘s The Boys in the Boat (“ignored” but “it delivers”)…what a spiritual knowledge base…so many decades and relationships in the industry and in the general muddy trenches of life…wonderful stuff.
